What the code does

We read the source, 22 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

        path = os.path.join(cfg["context_dir"], fname)

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add cambium -- uvx cambium-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CAMBIUM_REPO (Absolute path to the project git clone cambium reads/writes. Defaults to the current repo (cwd git root) when unset.), CAMBIUM_AGENT_ID (Your unique agent id, attributed to captures/endorsements/promotions.), CAMBIUM_ORG_REPO (Path to the org knowledge repo clone (org scope). Omit to keep promotions at team scope.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Cambium — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Cambium?
Cambium runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package cambium-mcp was installed 75 times last week.
How do I connect Cambium?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls cambium-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Cambium?
The pypi package cambium-mcp was installed 75 times in the last week. Week over week that is -1%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Cambium open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
